Honestly, Clown Deserves So Much Better From The Welcome Home “fandom”. He Told Us They Weren’t

Honestly, Clown deserves so much better from the Welcome Home “fandom”. He told us they weren’t comfortable with people sexualizing his characters; meanwhile, I’ve seen so many comments of people voicing the fact that they want to hear Wally whimper. They told us that he wasn’t okay with people selling their art/Welcome Home products; people are selling his work and Welcome Home fan-made products. It does not matter what you want, if the creator of a franchise, story, character, etc. tells you what they are comfortable and uncomfortable with when it comes to their characters, you absolutely must appreciate their work the way they want you to. Because it is not your story, your characters, your franchise, or your creation. It belongs to them. When I saw that Night Mind video about Welcome Home, I was immediately hooked. It’s given me and a lot of other neurodiverse queer people representation and a place to feel included. Fuck, Clown has been nothing but nice to us. All he expects in return is that we respect his characters and his privacy, and there are so many people who can’t even do that.
